SO A MONDAY THEN
Why aren't you waking up today? At half past seven, my three daughters were still blissfully snoring (in OUR bed…). And why do they call out at six in the morning on weekends? a slice of bread with Nutella?
Why didn't I empty the dishwasher yesterday? And why am I already losing that new magical sesame-open-up card for the container where you dump your trash bags? Because of that, my front yard is now completely full of trash bags. I don't have a very large front yard, but still.
Why did my daughter tear open the gift for her birthday classmate herself and also magically turn the wrapping into two? And why do I only find out about this a minute before half past eight?
Why do I have to scrape the car windows today of all days? And why do I have to refuel this morning of all mornings?
Why does my laptop only have two percent battery? And why is our youngest daughter still sick?
Why did I forget that I had an appointment? And why does my camera stop working exactly at the place and moment when I want to take the last shot for a video?
I know it now. Blue Monday. That's why.
Still a nice thought that it's not my fault. From now on, everything will get better, guys. Hey summer, here we come!
